Website not working is not a great sign .......what network do they use

They used to be a sub division of O2 who were purchased by Three. So Three? Unless there's been a change.

Thank GAWWWD some other network has come on board. Gomo are a disaster to deal with.

Lol trust me, 48 are worse.

Not sure if they'll run their friends program with the offer, order a Sim for a friend and I think you get 10 credit each, could be 20.

Not sure how the mods feel about board members ordering SIMS for each other? I know generally you can't offer sign ups, but in this case both parties earn an equal reward?

Maybe a MOD can clear that up?

Both my teens with 48 for years on the €10 membership...never a problem and online support great.. saved me a fortune .

Is it Bill pay or credit ?

You just renew every month by debit card..you're not tied into any contract. You can set your membership to auto renew monthly or just dont renew if you please. A very simple crowd but no complaints here for a tenner.

8.99 now I don't even use the 3gb I had nevermind 100gb. Was great for roaming before, even better now.

In what way?

If you think its hard get Gomo on the phone you should try 48, plus they've an awful habit of completely draining your credit depending which way the wind blows that day. I would NEVER go back to them.

If it's 4G then the Three network is going to take a hammering.
Let's hope that 48 have properly staffed their support channels for the influx!

New prepay plan from 48 Months preparing to launch for €8.99 per month.



Details:

Where did you get this info from as does not appear to be anywhere else online. Also what date is it expected to be live?

Was fairly certain these were only 3g or at least they were when I moved from them few months back. Anyone with them that can confirm they are 4g?

Yeah, got a text and email last week and automatically updated itself that day.

Muffin where did you get this from? There's nothing on the site or members section.

I’m on voda red with “free” Spotify and 1 hour free calls abroad costing 70PM

I’ve just got out of contract but it’s very difficult to get hold of anyone at Vodafone these days

Option for a call back usually the next day is the only option

What’s the coverage like with these ppl, as good as vodafone ?
Can I port my existing number ?
Can I get an international plan for 1 hour calls abroad?

4G rolled out between 21 to 25th November.

Just ordered a SIM there.
Have a dual SIM phone so can compare with GoMo.

The only issue I have with 48 was I couldn't get it to roam in France or Germany this year. Tried & tried. Was on chat to customer support. Gave up in the end

We've had 48 aims for years we slowly migrated away from it as other better offers have come in, and needs change.

Very reliable network, but data speeds are lagging the other networks. I live in a rural area, so urban areas may be better.
Only problem we had was roaming, says it's included and enabled etc, but a couple of times we used it and we couldn't get coverage abroad (EU).
Anyway, its generally good value at a Tenner, and this is better, just be aware there are limits to the network {based on the old 3G).

48 Months recently switched to 4G so speeds that you got years ago are not a relevant comparison now.

I have been with 48 for about 8 years.
Highly recommend it, great value.

Go to the Canary Islands every year and have no trouble roaming either.

Any risk of roaming not working in a big no go. Too much of a hassle being in another country and having to chase home provider for support.

Only risk is that people don't know how to use their phone apart from dial and browse, and can't set up their roaming settings properly, its all there on their support section. My missis did it in 20 seconds on her phone without me there, and as lovely as she is, she is completely IT and technologically clueless. Just follow the instructions.

Can't blame a provider for user ignorance and incompetence.
